Twenty-Four MPH Winds Are No Joke! Rapid City, SD

 8.30.2023

Rapid City, SD

Mileage: 2766


Today was very windy on the open prairie.  We drove straight south which didn't help at all.  Once we got near Sturgis the terrain changed and hills blocked the winds some.  Thankfully, we made it safely to our home for 8 days.

Along the way I stopped at Discount Tire to get new tires for the truck.  Somehow I didn't realize before we left that our stock tires were nearing the end of their life.  With thousands of miles to go we felt it best to replace them!  Discount Tire was great, and there is a shop in Fredericksburg to do the complimentary rotations and any warranty work.  I also got truck washed since it had miles of backroads of dust on it.




We saw our first stoplight in about a week! 





We are at a KOA Holiday which means we have a pool and other amenities.  After dinner we enjoyed the pool and the hot tub before taking Comet to the dog park where he enjoyed being off leash and the many new smells.
